Step One
- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fun ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
- If you wish for real possible things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.
- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step Two
- Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.
You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.
There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
~my wish list~
1. I wish I had more fishbone related stuff. Icons, wallpaper, keychains, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, or anything else fishbone-related. Just...no fics, please. XD;;
2. I wish I had more rikkai d1 fics to read and more rikkai pics in general to look at. (POT!!)
3. I wish I had Adobe Photoshop CS.
4. I wish I had the opening and ending songs for all the anime shown from 2004 to 2005.
5. I wish I were more motivated to write.
6. I wish I had some more epic HP fics to read.
7. I wish I had a good lj layout. (that incorporates #1!)
8. I wish I had a paid account for livejournal.
9. I wish I could go studying abroad (anywhere! but especially Japan, Taiwan, or Hong Kong) and still graduate as a third year.
10. I wish people on my flist played Maple Story (global version) so that we could meet in the game. There's this new Cash Shop where I could buy virtual Christmas gifts for you...

Date: 2005-10-23 12:19 am (UTC)I'm not sure how fishbones can be incorporated into a story actually. XD;; But if anyone can do it...
Would be fun to see actually. <3
no subject
Date: 2005-10-22 03:37 pm (UTC)... why no fics, Res? The corruption of a subject can be enjoyable ^_~. What pairings do you lean towards in HP?
no subject
Date: 2005-10-23 12:30 am (UTC)Mm. Most of the tangible stuff that I want for Christmas I actually plan on buying myself. My paycheck is going down the drain. ^^;
1. new, smaller, faster laptop that I can bring to class with me
2. lots of new DS games: Animal Crossing DS, Jump!Superstars, Band Brothers + expansion, Ouendan, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney...so much XD;;
As for HP fics, I'm actually looking for gen fics. More action/adventure/whatever based, but just not romance. As for pairings though, I like RLSB, RLSS, RLNT, RLHG...Remus x anyone is fine actually. XD;; Also like fics with Draco in it as a major character but not the main character. :3

Date: 2005-10-23 03:11 am (UTC)I saw a laptop in the ads that I'm interested in...but maybe I should wait. Laptops are only going to get cheaper and nicer the longer I wait.
*coughs*
Fics mentioning fishbones...

Date: 2005-10-24 04:42 am (UTC)Btw, are you going to the UCB Anime Con on Nov 5th?
no subject
Date: 2005-10-24 05:04 am (UTC)I was going to ask you that! I was thinking about going, but I haven't shown up at any of the anime meetings to sign up saying that I'll go yet. :3
Are you going?
no subject
Date: 2005-10-24 07:37 am (UTC)So? Whaddaya say?
no subject
Date: 2005-10-24 02:14 pm (UTC)Since you're going if I'm going, I'm definitely going then. :D
no subject
Date: 2005-10-24 04:39 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2005-10-24 05:26 pm (UTC)Darn. The meeting's at Valley Life Sciences Building. So far. -_-;; Wish it were in Dwinelle.
Hm...paying online...should be okay...or maybe you can pay in person at the anime club meeting?
no subject
Date: 2005-10-24 08:28 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2005-10-25 12:05 am (UTC)Um, yeah, the meeting's at 7 in the evening. -_- In 2050 VLSB. So late. And cold! I have a lot of stuff due tomorrow (that I haven't done yet!) so I'm just going to show up, sign up, and then leave again.
You can probably pay on the day of the con...though I don't know if it's going to be more expensive...?
no subject
Date: 2005-10-25 12:12 am (UTC)And yeah, paying at the door is 50% more expensive, but that's okay...
Good luck with your hw/assignments/stuff!
Just in case, do you have my number?
no subject
Date: 2005-10-25 12:32 am (UTC)Yup, I have your number. Saved it under 'ranier.' I didn't quite catch your name last time... D=
Are you on facebook?
no subject
Date: 2005-10-25 05:37 am (UTC)Scarves and gloves, eh? Big jacket and hoodie fer me. And umbrella(s)!
I think Berkeley wind has broken two of my umbrellas so far...
-_-;
no subject
Date: 2005-10-25 05:51 am (UTC)I still have my umbrella from elementary school. It's still...somewhat usable. It's purple with polka dots. XD;;
My # under fishy? I'm becoming known everywhere for fishbones! XD;;
